A lot of germany has deposits actually, so an extra 25-50 cents on top for cans and glass bottles

It is really weird to suddenly have emotions and to be like, affected by the world around you suddenly X)

Lmfao samee, I getcha. I had nothing against my skin before, but it was never comfy. I didn’t even realize it because it was just normal, and when it felt worse it felt like it just needed a shower (where I incidentally rubbed my skin raw. Which I didn’t even process as probably-not-great).

The body is a hodge-podge of Rube Goldberg machines, and trans research is wayy underdeveloped. Method of delivery and absorbancy and a billion other things probably affect the effects.
Out of curiosity, the skin changes were a huge boon to me (one that I didn’t expect to be so nice), so there’s a world where it was partially psychological. Was body odor a big dysphoria source for you?

Yeah, in my little experience basically all of the effects of hormones are “in general” at best, both in timeline and actual effects.
Personally my libido went up a little but unlike OOP it was very much present before too.
Meanwhile the skin softening stuff took a week or so to be noticeable, when it definitely “should” take longer.

Well, in the first bit of the Hitchhiker’s guide, there’s:
“You’d better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It’s unpleasantly like being drunk.”
“What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?”
“You ask a glass of water.”
Which does fit, even if it’s not necessarily a “well-known phrase”

Somebody added that 80th title and still decided against just making it a free text field
- Comment on Typical from my so called imaginary friend 5 months ago:
It’s bad. The original question is being used as a… standard conversation piece, here (though I’ve never heard that one IRL, I’m not surprised). Like “How are you”, “good, how about you”, “good” (which is in reality pretty much just a greeting), the person in the meme is saying “i’m sorry, I don’t have an excuse for my behavior” (“sorry I’m crazy”).
The expected response is reassurance on the second part (“no you’re not” to “I’m crazy”), but the received response is reassurance on the first (“it’s okay” to “sorry”). This implies that the other person does believe the first person is crazy, but the first person didn’t actually 100% mean the “I’m crazy” bit, so it’s an accidental insult that the first person can’t actually contest in any way and it hurts more because the other person must believe that for real. Therefore, unpleasant, but keeping it in. Hence the face.
Hope that made some sense!

It’s actually several seminars. For historical reasons presentations from gay frogs, lesbian frogs, bisexual frogs, etc. Are all grouped under “gay frog seminar”

- Comment on Happy Pi Day!! 1 year ago:
Yes and no. Pi is assumed to be normal, which means that any non-infinite sequence happens in pi. However, the digits of 0.1011011101111011111… are infinite and non-repeating, and yet you’ll never see a 00 or a 2.

The stone isn’t since it’s not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height.
Since, yknow, metric makes sense.

I’m not aware of any word like that
- Comment on Every year without fail. Beautiful, perfect weather then suddenly on Halloween…fucking freezing. 1 year ago:
“The ranges experienced by humans” is extremely variable. My friends from hotter countries can barely handle 10°C, but are fine at 40°C, and it’s entirely the opposite for me.
I assure you that for regular use, Celsius works great. I don’t really think either is better than the other in practice (outside of chemistry), but “it’s the range people experience” is kinda bull. A 10 degree F difference from 0 to 10 is very different from 60 to 70.
Also, water freezing at 0°C (and boiling at 100°C, to a lesser degree) is quite convenient in everyday life. Just check for a minus sign and you know if it can freeze.
